Oh ok. You still have to send the message, but you don't have to type anything in the message. That's fair enough, I suppose.
Can't decline a game without an email???

You're right, you have to send a messge. It's stupid. If anybody should send a message it's the challenger, saying why he wants to play you.
It's still ok for us, but I imagine it would be a major pain for titled players, I'm sure they are getting challenged by patzers all the time.
They probably shut off challengers, like I do. Used to get far too many, from being active on the forums I guess.
Yes, you can leave it blank, as you did with my challenge. FYI, when you did that, I got a message saying you declined my challenge, and that was all.

Cool. That's not a entirely terrible alternative. Thank you

I appreciate everyone's input on this. I feel much better now. Amazing how little things help in life. Thanks again.

The challenge disappears after 14 days or so. Just like it came.
Not that I know from experience of course!

Red Lady, you had better not let my challenge disappear! You need to send me a go *BLEEP* myself message for a refusal.

I challenge you because I have a "list of people that participated on the forums that I want to beat", and I want to use that people to breaking the 1800 barrier (for the 2nd or 3rd time).
Sorry, I didn´t know that you received too many challenges!

Let's publicly demand the Socialista - ScottRF ( I always think of the race bike Honda CRF when i see those initials ) matchup. No declining!
Make this happen, Socialista and the Race Bike!!

That would be the polite way, yes

Scott, maybe I can be the Promoter here. Line up your matches, much like Bob Arum does with Manny Pacquiao.
Oh you're right, sorry, wasn't as I remembered. Just don't write a message.
